- Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs teammates exchanged friendship bracelets ahead of Sunday's game.
- Like those passed out at Taylor Swift concerts, the bracelets come amid Kelce and Swift's rumored romance.
- Earlier this year, Kelce tried to give Swift a bracelet with his number on it.
Travis Kelce is bringing his apparent love for friendship bracelets to the locker room.
Earlier this summer, Kelce revealed that he tried to give Taylor Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it. Now, his Kansas City Chiefs teammates have joined in on the fun, passing out bracelets ahead of the NFL team's game against the New York Jets on Sunday.
The locker room bracelet exchange comes amid rumors of a budding relationship between Kelce and Swift — even if his original pick-up attempt didn't work out.
Kelce invited Swift to his September 24 game against the Chicago Bears, which she watched from his private suite alongside his mom. The pair were then pictured leaving the stadium together and snuggled up at an after-party.
In a TikTok video posted by the Chiefs on Saturday, team members were seen passing out the bracelets. Kelce was among the first to accept a bracelet that apparently said "killa Trav" on it.
"I know what these are all about," Kelce says in the video.

The bracelets are also a nod to those often passed out at Taylor Swift's concerts. Since her Eras Tour kicked off in March, attendees excitedly exchanged bracelets at Swift's shows. The brightly colored bracelets tend to pay homage to Swift's songs, and fans even made dresses out of them.
Swift fans are all-in on the new romance; even PR experts believe it's the real deal. Despite some people questioning if the relationship is a publicity stunt, three PR pros told Insider their relationship seems legit — and that if Swift wanted a clout-based relationship, she would have chosen someone with more, well, clout.
"She is one of the most famous entertainers in the world. If she wanted to date one of the most famous athletes in the world, I'm confident she could. He would not be one of them," Ronn Torossian, founder of 5WPR, told Insider.
The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the New York Jets on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium. Fans are eager to see if Swift will make another game appearance — especially after she was spotted with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, on Saturday in New York City, per Page Six.
